Each summer, we set aside a special week to celebrate and learn how God is working through ordinary people to change the world through mission. Missionaries and speakers encourage and challenge us, and we focus on prayer for the nations.

Wednesday, June 3
Missions Confidential • 6:30pm–8:00pm, Room 108
Did you know that many of our missionaries and global partners live in places where communication can be risky? That some of our missionaries can’t be shown on camera for their own safety? For those working in “closed countries,” each day is a creative challenge to serve the Lord.
Back for another year, this event will allow you to hear stories of how God is working in the hardest places. Our friends with Call of Hope have been working in closed countries for decades and are seeing much fruit! Be encouraged and spurred on to pray. Registration is free, and light refreshments will be provided.
Please note that childcare will not be available.
Thursday, June 4
Praying for the Nations • Room 107, 10:00am
Join us in prayer for the world, led by our Missionary Prayer Fellowship. Hear directly from some of our missionaries! Lunch will be provided afterwards. No RSVP is required.
